Ford Faces Showdown With Congress
Congress moves toward a major clash with President Ford by linking a delay of oil tariff hikes to raising the debt ceiling to a record 531 billion dollars through June 30.

Senate Democrats plan an alternative energy package, while Ford warns veto or pursues action as White House signals responsibility in lawmaking.
